Has anyone found a dress suitable to wear to a wedding that you can bf in AND is flattering on someone size 16/18 who is short? If you have please tell me where.

[Iamnotanugget]

I have a wedding to attend at the end of September. Ds is 3 months old and I still have a very rounded tummy. I have been making a real effort to lose weight so I hope to be a size 16 by then. I'm finding shopping for a dress impossible. I want to bf easily. I want to look nice but I'm 5'1 so I'm struggling to find something. I can't be the only short, overweight, breastfeeding woman going to a wedding!

Has anyone seen anything suitable?

This might be good if you don't like sleeveless. Easy to bf in, a wrap might make it more "wedding-ie" and useful for feeding too.

Could you call the venue or speak to the bride/groom and see if there is anywhere private to feed in (NOT a toilet cubicle, obviously!!) and this way you can find a dress you feel and look good in and just pop out when baby needs feeding? Baby will be a bit older by then and may need feeding less often?

This might not be helpful but it's what I've done at two weddings this summer - plus as dc2 is now 6 months and very easily distracted it's very difficult for me to feed publicly without flashing

[MrsLettuce]

What sort of do is it? Casual? Church? Posh? What colours do you like to wear?

I really rather like this, but it won't be to everyone's taste.

Frugi sale

I have the Boden casual jersey dress, was very pleased with it

[MrsLettuce]

this si great - pretty sure the button front closure is real.

[Iamnotanugget]

Thank you everyone, there are some lovely dresses out there. I really love the Frugi one but I think it's probably too casual. The whole day is being held at a hotel so it's not very formal but I don't this dress is quite smart enough. Although I'm very tempted just to buy it anyway.

I also like the one Mrs Lettuce suggested but I think I might show a bit too much off if I feed in that. I'm also going to avoid anything that needs handwashing or dry cleaning as with 3 young dc I need something I can just throw in the wash and pull out magically crease free

I really like the bird print, the first dress suggested and the Julien Macdonald one. Thank you again for giving me some ideas.

[MrsLettuce]

Yes, I was thinking you'd need a scarf with the zip fronted dress Hadn't seen that the Adrianna Papell was dry clean, sorry about that!

[Trickydecision]

The bird print is excellent Tethersend, you are a brilliant dress finder.

[tethersend]

Ah, thanks Tricky

[callamia]

I've for last year's Boden jersey dress - it's blue and spotted, cheap on eBay. It did the job at a recent wedding perfectly.

[Trickydecision]

Thanks, Tethers,I am off to make hay in Primark with it.
